INTRODUCTION

In this course, our goal, we will to learn power flow analysis, contingency analysis and state estimation. These are selected topics and can be modified as needed. We will use Matlab and PSCAD student edition as the software of choice to simulate most of our problems. I have placed 12 tutorials in the link for ECE412 in my webpage.

 

TEXTBOOK
Power Systems Analysis by Grainger and Stevenson, first edition, published by McGraw-Hill. ISBN: 0-07-061293-5.

 

GRADE

1.       90% to 100% A

2.       80% to 90% B

3.       70% to 80% C

4.       60% to 70% D

5.       0% to 60% F

 

ASSESSMENT
There is going to be a quiz every two weeks. We will have several small projects during the semester. Quizzes will be worth about 30% of the grade.

Projects will be worth 30% of the grade.

The final exam will be the review and written report using IEEE technical paper format and power point presentation of a technical paper. This presentation we will be given to your classmates and you will be graded on preparation, presentation, documentation, examples, and delivery. The presentation will be worth 20%.

10% of the grade is my personal evaluation of you (class participation, attendance, teamwork, etc).

 

PROJECTS 

Projects will be accepted only via “email.” No hard copies and/or handwritten solutions will be accepted.
 

HOMEWORK (Homework answers and other issues)
Most homework will have to be emailed. However, when needed use engineering paper only and staple it when necessary. Homework will not be graded right away, so you must keep a copy. Homework will be based on the homework assigned and the material covered in class. Homework will be worth 10% of the grade.


EMAIL

I have set up a filter in my web mail inbox and the only way I will accept and answer your emails is if you use the subject: ECE612F06. I have a rule; any email will be answered within 48 hours during the week and 72 hours during the weekend. Please plan ahead and be on top of the material.
